Annual Ward Campout

Last weekend was our ward's annual camp out and Shae and I decided (pretty much at the last minute) we would try out the whole camping thing with Rhaegan for the first time. I was a little bit nervous because when I don't get enough sleep the next day is pretty much the day from you know where. I really thought Rhaegan would enjoy an exciting new adventure and so I told myself "one night won't kill me." Well...we didn't sleep but it was a lot of fun. Our tent was on a major slope so we kept ending up at the bottom of the tent on top of each other. It was also really cold and I hadn't prepared our family for the drastic weather change. Rhaegan was layer is all the clothes I had brought for her. It all turned out okay and we survived and what's even more amazing is so did Rhaegan. I think we might just try camping again some day. Rhaegan loved the tents. It was like her own little fortress.

Breakfast the next morning was prepared by the bishopric and while they were making the bacon the smoke started to fill the lodge and off went the alarms. It was so loud as you can see from the above photo.
We put together a friendly game of volleyball which turned out to be a blast. I don't even remember who won.
Rhaegan discovered the fire pit right by our tent and enjoyed throwing rocks into it and then fishing them out, ashes and all.
